Google has published a set of posters for the classroom, explaining stuff like how a search engines work, how to improve your search results and how to make the most of Google Books.

Librarians will probably find the posters on how to improve your search results useful, as well as the poster on Google Scholar, with the headline “Need six authoritative, relevant sources? Before sunrise?”.
